This is very interesting. Here, we have not had three arcs in episode 20, which is undoubtedly the series’ main action climax. After all, this episode is the ending of Loli, Ghost and Johnny’s arc, and the ending of Queen, Lucky Cyan and Esul. A lot of things happened – too much to do in one review – so let’s focus on the bigger picture: the goals of the main players, and the real winners and losers of this conflict between superheroes.
First, we have a committee. They want a way to control superheroes (whether fear or trust-based) and alien metal seems to be a way to do that. That’s why the committee exists after all to ensure another superhero disaster like Zero (Zero) never happens again. But as the various agencies grow, as the years go by, the committee becomes increasingly powerless.
No agency wants to lose power, so they have a vested interest in missions to alien ships. They all hope it fails. Treeman’s head Shand has been secretly experiencing fear and trust in heroes and villains. He sends out a cloned villain based on fear, Nisnis kills everyone on the alien ship, presumably to be kind and then “defeat” the villain. Meanwhile, Uncle Rock of Mighty Glory sent E-Soul to kill Ghostblade and Little Johnny (presumably all scientists), tied up the loose ends of Johnny’s father’s death, and also stopped studying alien metals. He could even be the autumn figure of the failed ship on board, as one of his heroes, Ghostblade, should protect everyone. Finally, we have Mickey on DOS. Instead of letting his hands dirty, he manipulated the owners of other agents to take action and then arranged for the recently restored queen to appear “by chance” and see the heroes fighting and then put them all out.
Of course, nothing is completely planned. No one can predict the appearance of loli. Loli’s appearance is an unknown girl who can fight the top 50 heroes with the deadlock (not to mention defeating the villain of fear) – Blue will land with the Queen to facilitate the rescue of the seriously injured ghost bondage and little Johnny. To be sure, there are winners and losers in this battle, sometimes they are the same battle.
The most obvious loser is the committee itself. These institutions effectively block the development of antitrust/fear technology by killing nearly everyone’s knowledgeable subjects. As a result, the committee found itself the weakest ever, and could only deny all of them by canceling the game and allowing the only independent hero X to win the championship for the third time, thus making the other heroes the champion for the third time, thus making all the others losers at the end of the day.
This is not to say that some heroes don’t lose more than others. Loli comes out of the worst case. Her father and childhood friend were dead and her best friend fell into a coma. Worse, she couldn’t avenge them because the unbeaten was the unbeaten and the media spind it to make them look like heroes. Meanwhile, Ghostblade and The Johnnies failed to protect the researchers and posted the stain on the record, while Ghostblade’s daughter Nuonuo was seriously injured.
However, the effects of Nice and Electronics also come out of the whole situation worse. At least, Loli, Johnnies, Queens, Cyan and Ghosts all know their true nature now, which means that the kind and eeee enemies become enemies of most top heroes. (In fact, I haven’t killed my daughters for two years since this event.)
As far as the agent CEO is concerned, Uncle Rock is by far the biggest loser. Ghostblade is an employee of Uncle Rock, so as far as the scandal is concerned, the Bucks stopped with him and he also failed to kill Ghostblade and Johnnies’ secret targets. Most importantly, the Queen makes E-Soul look like a powerless fool.
With all these questions, when all the dust settles, the question becomes who wins. Well, the most obvious winner is everyone who wants an alien metal development to stop. With two notable exceptions, everyone understands that alien metal is dead. But while Mickey seems to be the best CEO at first glance (as he accomplished all of his goals), the real winners of these institutions are people who have nothing to do with the Alien Ship Expedition (Zack:Zack). After that, Loli joined Fomo as their latest hero (which makes sense because it’s Johnnis’ agency and probably the only agency she’s not angry) to give Zack control over someone who can develop and use anti-Trust/Fear technology.
Loli herself is the winner (although she will never agree, because the price is too high) because she finally realizes her dream and is shaky due to her knowledge and suits to do almost everything she wants. Meanwhile, the Johnny can reinvent their image, and Little Johnny was inspired to get rid of his butt and strive to be a real hero, not a merchandise mascot. The Queen and Blue smell like roses, proving that they can control anything (even wearing only civilian gear), while the Queen claims her dominance over Nice and ee-soul, which is undoubtedly a psychological blow to both.
But in the end, the biggest winner here is the one who has nothing involved in all of this: X. He came out of a hero above the scandal, unpopular and untainted. As the first hero to retain the X title three degrees, he is undoubtedly the greatest superhero in history, only zero before falling. However, within two years, he will defend the title again, and in the game, he will focus more on personal resentment than simply standing among heroes.

Random thought:
•Why is Johnny angry at Mickey in the last scene? They had no idea that he was even involved in what happened.
• Bad entry-level Lin Lin, who unconsciously helped cover up Nice, tries to kill the expedition by suggesting that he knocked down the villain instead of the Loli.
•If Uncle Rock wants to bring back zeros (or create a new zero or anything), it makes sense for him to want e-soul (i.e., the one who beats zero) (even if he has to create a new one).
• My explanation is that this is a good deed because after a failed mission, he was abandoned by Shand and lost hope of becoming a top hero. Besides, he was powerless in front of the queen, and only had a disdainful expression for her. Afterwards, his life stagnated, leaving only the drawbacks of his heroic life and role. Ironically, it only took Linlin a few months to make it to the top ten – all as friendly as him. Who would guess the most important thing is the inside?
• Here is my wild theory about X: He is Superman – that is, he is an alien whose ship crashes on Earth. He grew up as a normal man and got a normal job. But seeing the injustice in the world, he decided to use his alien power (not trust or fear) to become the greatest hero in the world. (Note: This also means that Johnny will be his super dog’s Krypto.)
